* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', King Jerard was holding auditions for a new court magician (to replace [[EvilChancellor the one he threw in jail]] in a previous episode); the applicant shown (“the Amazing Manfred”) did this trick during his interview, but wasn’t able to put his assistant back together. Naturally, he didn’t get the job, and as he was kicked out, his angry – and still cut in two – assistant told him she was quitting.
